Sustaining Health Promotion and Education to Build Resilient Communities: Lessons from Nurses During the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundNurses, the largest segment of the global health workforce, play vital roles in managing disease outbreaks and boosting community resilience during public health emergencies. PURPOSE: This study explored the experiences of senior nurses in leading health facilities in Ghana during the COVID-19 pandemic.
methodsWe employed a qualitative, exploratory, descriptive approach and purposive sampling to recruit 30 senior nurses involved in frontline care during the COVID-19 pandemic. We used telephone interviews to examine how nurses' roles are changing during public health crises.
resultsNurses navigated challenges related to infection prevention and control, team dynamics and social support, resource limitations, stigma against those affected, and leadership. Some of the nurses drew on their prior experience to navigate the complexities of COVID-19. The significance of inter-professional working and the flexible delegation of tasks is reinforced by the current study, which suggests that professional boundaries became more blurred during the crisis. Optimal responses to outbreaks are influenced by professional preparedness and adaptive learning.
conclusionsNurses displayed extraordinary resilience and determination, yet faced enormous challenges, including PPE shortages, stigmatization from within their own communities and organizations, and a lack of welfare support. The findings from this analysis are intended to support national and global efforts in pandemic preparedness and healthcare worker assistance, highlighting the essential role nurses play in creating more resilient health systems for future crises.
